Facebook Ads cost per app install benchmarks: IT Services & Outsourcing in Brazil vs. global

This analysis looks at cost per app install trends for industry IT Services & Outsourcing and target country Brazil compared to the global trend. The analysis is based on $3B worth of advertising data from our dataset, which provides strong directional benchmarks.

Main takeaways

  • Selected cohort data availability: No monthly observations were provided for IT Services & Outsourcing in Brazil during the period, so we cannot compute cohort-level averages or volatility, nor assess above/below-market positioning.
  • Global baseline level: The global median cost per app install averaged 11.85 over the period (median 11.36), ranging from a low of 1.98 (Sep 2024) to a high of 26.21 (Jun 2025).
  • Volatility: Month-to-month absolute changes averaged 6.31, indicating high volatility. The largest jump occurred from May to June 2025 (+15.78), followed by the largest drop from June to July 2025 (-13.86).
  • Seasonal pattern: Costs rose into November 2024, softened in December–January, then escalated sharply in late Q2 (June) and stayed elevated through late Q3 (August–September). This aligns with typical seasonality where costs often increase in Q4 around holiday periods and can intensify mid-year.

Selected cohort: IT Services & Outsourcing in Brazil

  • Data status: The selected_data series contains no observations for the period. As a result:
  • Averages, highs/lows, and month-to-month volatility for Brazil cannot be calculated.
  • Relative positioning versus the global baseline (above market, below average, or in line) cannot be determined from the provided inputs.

Comparative view to the global baseline

  • Due to the absence of selected cohort data, comparison is limited to a qualitative note: the global context shows pronounced seasonality (Q4, late Q2/early Q3) and substantial volatility. Any Brazil-specific positioning versus this global benchmark cannot be assessed with the current dataset.

Understanding the Data

Insights & analysis of Facebook advertising costs

Facebook advertising costs vary based on many factors including industry, target audience, ad placement, and campaign objectives. In the IT Services & Outsourcing industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. For campaigns targeting Brazil, advertisers should consider local market factors and user behavior. Different campaign objectives lead to varying costs based on how Facebook optimizes for your specific goals. The data shown represents median values across multiple campaigns, and individual results may vary based on ad quality, audience targeting, and campaign optimization.

Why we use median instead of average

We use the median CTR because the underlying distribution of click-through rates is highly skewed, with a small share of campaigns achieving extremely high CTRs. These outliers can inflate a simple average, making it less representative of what most advertisers actually experience. By using the median—which sits at the midpoint of all campaigns—we provide a more rigorous and realistic benchmark that reflects the true underlying data model and helps you set attainable performance expectations.

Key Factors Affecting Facebook Ad Costs

  • Competition within your selected industry and audience demographics
  • Ad quality and relevance score – higher quality ads can lower costs
  • Campaign objective and bid strategy
  • Timing and seasonality – costs often increase during holiday periods
  • Ad placement (News Feed, Instagram, Audience Network, etc.)

Note: This data represents industry median values and benchmarks. Your actual costs may vary based on specific targeting, ad creative quality, and campaign optimization.

What's a good CPI for iOS vs Android in 2025?

iOS CPIs often range from $2 to $5 or more. Android is usually cheaper, between $1 and $3. Your CPI will depend on geo, creative, and optimization goal.

Why is my app install cost higher in some countries?

Some regions like the US, UK, and Canada have higher competition and stricter privacy regulations, which drive up costs. Countries with lower purchasing power typically have cheaper CPIs.

What creatives drive the lowest CPI on Facebook?

Short videos showing app benefits, UGC-style content, and localized messaging tend to perform best. Clear CTAs and fast-paced visuals help lower your CPI.

Should I optimize for installs or in-app actions?

Optimizing for installs gets volume, but optimizing for actions like signups or purchases brings higher quality users. It depends on your goals and how much post-install behavior matters.

How do I lower CPI without tanking app retention or quality?

Align your creative with the app experience, avoid misleading ads, and exclude users who already installed. You can also test lookalike audiences based on high-quality users, not just all installers.
